Rosa’s POV

Today I was working for Niklaus rather than the Salvatore’s not that they knew that. They thought I was finding out more information on killing Niklaus, which I guess I was but I wasn’t being productive enough to actually help them, and I was going to talk to Niklaus about going against them.

Without letting the brothers know that I was just going to go to Niklaus, I told them about Elena trying to escape, so they were going to talk to her whilst I didn’t have to worry about them catching me going to the enemy.

I walked to Niklaus’ house not really looking forward to whatever he had in store for me to do now. I’m sure he’d force me to do multiple things that I wouldn’t be happy with to make up for me breaking the sire bond.

When I got there I let myself into the house, seen as they didn’t lock their doors seen as anyone who entered the house wrongly they’d just be killed by them, it wasn’t like they had any reason to fear anyone seen as they only had one thing to kill them, and no one really knew about it.

I called out to Niklaus hoping he was home, seen as otherwise I had come here for no reason, and I didn’t really want to talk to Elijah, not that I wanted to talk to Niklaus.

“Rosalina, what a pleasant surprise,” He smiled walking into the hallway.

“Niklaus, you invited me here, have you finally developed dementia?” I frowned.

“Don’t try to be funny Rosalina; you aren’t funny in any way. You never have and you never will,” He chuckled.

“I’m hurt Niklaus. Anyway what was the purpose for me being here? Not that I mind, at least I don’t have to watch that blasted doppelganger. How is she of any relation to the last? Katherine actually had a back bone, and could think for herself, and about herself, this one is just a pain in the arse,” I sighed rolling my eyes.

Elena was more annoying than anyone I had met, and I had met a lot of people including Niklaus, and she annoyed me more than him. There was nothing enjoyable about her, her personality stunk and she was by no means funny or entertaining. At least Niklaus could make me laugh.

“I’m sure she isn’t that bad Rosalina. But just think, I’ll kill her soon and then resurrect her to use her blood to make more of you, it’ll be pure torture to her,” He smirked.

It wasn’t like I wasn’t happy that’d she’d suffer so much, but I wasn’t impressed with her having to suffer and it resulting in more people suffering.

“I’m not happy with this Niklaus. Not the killing and torturing Elena part, I’m more than willing to help with that, but I am still not happy with you creating more hybrids. It’s not a nice life Niklaus,” I shrugged knowing he wouldn’t take any notice of what I said.

“I love how you think I still care. Wait, I never cared about what you thought Rosalina,” He smirked, “So was you day yesterday that bad with Elena?”

“Yes. She is so suicidal. I lost count of how many times I had to stop her climbing out of a window to run to you. How do those Salvatore’s put up with her? If killing her didn’t mean I was killed by you, I would have murdered her yesterday. I’m surprised she survived the whole day; I think her desperation for death began to rub off on me. Seriously I can’t put my hatred of her into words,” I frowned.

He let out another laugh. Not only was I annoyed for having to put up with Elena yesterday, but Niklaus made it worse in how hilarious he found it. If it didn’t mean I’d subsequently die, I would stake the man stood in front of me.

“To make up for the torture you have already put me through, I think that it is only fair that you show me Kol. I find it rather hard to believe that you’ll keep up your end of the bargain. All I need is to see him in person. No photos or videos, I need to see him Niklaus and if you let me, I promise I won’t lose my alliance to you, or kill the bitchy doppelganger,” I stated trying to act stern, even though I knew he could literally snap me like a twig.

“Okay. I expected more of a request from you. I knew this was coming, as you have very little trust in me, but I expected you to beg for your love’s freedom before the sacrifice, or force me to promise to never harm him, this is a lot less than expected,” He shrugged.

“But would you have done either of those things?” I asked raising an eyebrow.

“No.”

“And I knew that you wouldn’t want to do much for me, so seeing him will have to do, won’t it?”

With that he sighed and began to walk. I presumed I was supposed to follow him, so I did. He walked the stairs of the large house and down a hall. I followed him down the winding halls until we reached a room, inside holding a single coffin, and nothing else.

“Open it, he’s in there,” Niklaus stated.

I took a deep breath stepping towards the casket. This probably wasn’t the best way to see the man I loved after all these years. Slowly I lifted up the lid of the casket to reveal Kol. He seemed peaceful, as if he was asleep minus the dagger imbedded in his chest.

Staring down at him I turned back to Niklaus to ask him a question.

“No. You aren’t removing the dagger until the sacrifice is complete. You even attempt it and I’ll rip out your jugular,” He shrugged.

Could he read my mind?

I sighed. I looked back at Kol, realising how weird this was. Not wanting to hang around staring at his body.
